TRIAL :: 15 Feb :: Warriors 14 Knights 22 @ Albany, NZ

[~knights~]

knights by 12

copper vuna to score 1st try

 

[Apey]

Any idea if this game is being broadcasted in Aus?

Warriors will probably win by about 12.

 

[Jono078]

Most likely wont be televised.

But we'll probably get game highlights on Sports Tonight and Fox Sports News.

 

[Bicey_18]

why wouldnt we win? comparing last years results, we should win by 20. its not like wes is going to steer you too a win at centre. we have lost no one who was a big part of the team next year, and have some very promising youngsters.

id say warriors by 18.

Well lets compare shall we

First game we played last year we had our top players available we won 24-18 didnt we?

Then the 2nd game when we were missing our top players and you belted us with your full strength side..

Our side is alot better this year..and wont be pushovers

Good to see Jody give up swimming for rugby league!

 

[Jono078]

Fairly strong squad by the Warriors..

Knights by 10.

 

[-Dr.J-]

Slightly one eyed aren't you? Most people think you're in line to come last and that we're in the 8, very least.

Having said that we're gonna play a lot of fringe first graders. Warriors by 6

 

[Fast Eddie]

Sonny Fai to dominate.

That opinion is always based on last years form with last years players. To be fair the Knights have let go and recruited roughly half the starting side so there really isnt much basis for a wooden spoon prediction for us. Pot calling the kettle black with your 1 eyed comment mate.

The proof will be in the pudding come rd 1

So just because people think we wont do so well that means we definently will struggle... Its people's opinions.. thats all.

Who is to say the Warriors are guaranteed a top 8 spot? There are signs there that they may struggle also.. Ageing forwards, a inconsistent halfback and a winger who more often than not has a bad game and is a mistake riddled player... You can make cases for every team really.. why they can and cant win it..

At the end of the day no one knows who will make the 8 cos the comp is so even... really anyone can.

Its always the case mate though..... people only take notice of when the team is playing bad not taking into account the squad available, turmoil etc... People only look at the results really, fact of life

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Why are people talking about results when anyone knows that a trial game is a nothing game?

 

[macavity]

Warriors by 20-26

I think our guys will be out to impress but it will take time to gel as a team.

the Wuzzies look good this year, especially if they can keep McKinnon on the park and the forwards pumped to send Wiki off in style

 

[MSKnight]

Has anyone heard any info if theres live scores online?

Have you watched any Warriors games?

I thought we'd weeded out all these geniuss by now

 

[Bicey_18]

So Vatevei isnt a mistake prone player?

Why do you think commentators rip him off all time? Cos he more times than not makes mistakes... simple..

:lol::lol::lol: x 10000

Commentators rip him all the time because they have as much of an idea as you do

 

[innsaneink]

So is this a 10pm syd time kickoff or thereabouts>>???

 

[Frederick]

Bicey, when he first came into firstgrade he had absolutely no ball handling skills whatsoever...it was as if his arms were stumps and ended at the wrists. Since then he has gotten far better, certainly a long way from being 'mistake prone' (save for one rather embarrassing night in Parramatta last year...)
